THE FIELD. 
superhuman. The concluding sentences of his report of 
the 22nd of September have sufficiently proved this, and 
the letters and order of the day which we now publish afford 
a still more complete testimony : — 
“ ‘ On board the ship Ville dc Paris, Sept. 12. 
“ ‘ M. LE Mauechai.,— My situation in regard to my health 
has become grave. Up to this time I have combatted the 
malady with which I am affected with all the energy of which 
I was capable, and for a long time I had hoped that I was 
sufficiently habituated to suffering to be able to exorcise the 
commaud without making known to all the violence of the 
attacks which I am condemned to suffer. 
*• ‘ But this struggle has exhausted my strength. I have 
had the pain of discovering lately, and particularly duiing 
the passage, during which I was upon the point of succumbing, 
that the moment was approaching when my courage would 
not suffice to enable me to supjiort the heavy burden of a 
command which requires a vigour that I have lost, and 
which I hardly hope to recover. 
“ ‘ My conscience makes me consider it a duty to explain 
to you this position. 1 should hope that providence will 
permit me to complete the task which I have undertaken, 
and that I may be able to lead as far as Sebastopol the army 
with which I shall land to-morrow on the coast of the Cri- 
mea ; but^that will be, I feel, a last effort, and I beg you to 
ask the Emperor to allow me to appoiut a successor. 
“ ‘ Accept, M. lo Mardchal, the expression of my very 
resj>ectful sentiments. A. Dk Saint Arnaud.* 
“ * The Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, 
“ 1 Head-quarters, Bivouac on the Tchcrnaya, 
Sept. 26. 
“ ‘ M. le Marechal, — M y health is deplorable. An attack 
of cholera has just been added to the evils from which I have 
suffered so long, and I am become so weak that to continue 
the command is I feel impossible. In this position, and 
however painful it may be to me, I feel it a duty of honour 
and conscience to place it in the hands of General Canrobert, 
whom the special orders of his Majesty indicate as my 
successor. 
“ ‘ The order of the day will explain the sentiments with 
which I separute myself from my soldiers, and renounce 
the pursuit of the great enterprise the happy commence- 
ment of which seemed to presage a glorious result for our 
arms. I 
“ ' Please to accept, M. le Mardchal, the expression of my 
very respectful sentiments. A. De St. Arnaud, 
“ * The Marshal Commanding-in-Chief.’ " 
The Bertliollet arrived at Marseilles on the 10th with the 
remains of Marshal St. Arnaud, which were received with 
all possible honour. All the ships in the harbour hoisted 
their flags half-mast high. Madame de St. Arnaud, who ac- 
companied the body of her husband, alighted at the Hotel 
Beauveau. The body of the marshal being on the deck, a 
first salute of artillery was fired ; a second salute was 
fired when it was lowered into the boat, and a third on its 
arrival on the quay. A gun continues to be fired every 
hour. The body has beeu deposited in the Cathedral until 
great ceremony. It will be removed to Pains. The Moniteur 
stales that the expense of the funeral of the Martfclial will 
be defrayed by the public treasury. He is to be buried in 
the Hotel des Invalides. 
The Emperor and Empress have left Paris for Amiens, to 
be present at the consecration of a chapel dedicated to St. 
Eugenie in the cathedral of that town. The visit is in 
pursuance of a promise given to the clergy last year by the 
Emperor. A Te Dtum will also be performed in thanks- 
giving for the victory of the Alma. The Emperor intends 
to confer upon Marshal St. Arnaud’s widow the title of 
Duchess of Alma.

to be very near the winner. — Yours, Toby Peeps.

" On the green, green turf.'* 
Mr. Editor, — Since my last, Chantilly has had its two 
days’ racing. Baron Rothschild’s Orestes was beaten easily 
by the French mare Hervine in the straggle for the chief 
prize — The Emperor's Stakes. Hervine has twice run for 
the Goodwood Cup, and was one of the competitors for 
last year’s Cambridgeshire. She is again engaged in the im- 
portant race of the 24th, and will most likely receive some 
considerable support. 
Newmarket has had a busy week. The Cesarewitcli is 
over, and Muscovite the winner. He was “bottled up" for 
some purpose, and has achieved a good thing at last. My 
selection for the event was Muscovite and Calamus ; the 
latter I was not surprised to find absent at the time for sad- 
dling. The cause of his retrogression in the betting was 
alluded to iu my letter of last week. In short, Muscovite 
had the race to himself. Barring Rataplan and Rattle, a 
more moderate lot have seldom contested bo great a stake. 
Rataplan at a stone less might have made a fight of it ; but 
with 9st 71b on his back, the weight was too crushing to afford 
him a chance. Some of the favourites are stated to have got off 
badly. Complaints of a bad start seem to be of rather too 
frequent recurrence. This should be looked to, aud, if 
possible, remedied by those in authority. The decision of the 
starter ought to command equal respect with that of the 
judge. Well, there was no doubt as to the result, for Musco- 
covite, with the greatest ease, made the Ciesarewitch his own. 
On tho previous day Lord Wm. Powlett's Nicholas, by the Em- 
peror, won a handicap over the two-yr-old course. It must 
at once be admitted that these names were bestowed some 
time back ; but, iu the present state of public feeling, the 
taste could not be impugned that would induce owners of 
race-horses to change at once the Russian appellations given 
to some of the best of their cattle. The public were not 
gratified by a sight of the loug-looked-for Gneculus Esuriens. 
Like a carpet-knight, he still avoids the field of battle. The 
Glasgow Stakes at the Houghton Meeting may possibly afford 
him the opportunity of an easy conquest ; but this constant 
shirking of the fray has had its eflect, and the little Greek has 
receded several points in the Derby betting. The Clearwell fell 
to the lot of an outsider, in the shape of Mi-. Payne’s Polydora colt, 
by Cotherstone. I fully expected to see Oulston aud William 
the Third win their engagements, but Mr. Payne and the 
Duke of Bedford were iu great force throughout the meeting. 
In the numerous matches I believe I missed but one winner. 
The Warwick and Leamington October Meeting is 
the first for decision in tho forthcoming week. 
The Great Warwick Handicap has an entry of forty 
horses, the weights ranging from Sst 91b to 4st 61b. A good 
field may, therefore, be expected, and speculation ought to 
be brisk. The auimals that attract my fancy are Lady 
Vernon, Diomedia, St. Clare, Mishap and The Spinner. 
Leamington Welter Cup. — This event may be governed 
as much by the riding as the running. I must choose 
Veteran and The Milkboy. 
Two-Year-Old Handicap. — The Maid of Cadiz or Priest- 
craft may be there or thereabout at the finish.) 
The second day Is almost devoted to the jumpers. 
Stcepleclmsing was not iu the best of odour last season, and 
tho opening of this will be watched with no little scrutiny. 
Straightforward conduct will soon restore it to its former 
popularity. 
Grand’ Open Steeplechase. — There are seventeen nomi- 
nations for this four-mile chase. Miss Mowbray is well in at 
list 31b. Should she start she ought to be near winning. 
In her default I must select Need wood and Crabbs. 
The Handicap Platb op £50 T.Y.C. — For this spin I 
should take the best of the two-yrs-old, probably Westwin-
